UNCLE HARRY TELLS ABOUT THE COST OF THE WAR
"Joe and I were talkiug about the
war this afternoon," said Jimmy, 9s
lie climbed into the porch hammock
along side of Uncle Harry, "and while
we know it is costing an awful lot of
money, we were wondering just how
much it amounted to; can you tell
us ? "
[• ''That's almost like asking me how
much damage a tire will do while the
fire is still raging,'' said Uncle Harry.
I "Well, can't you give us some ideaf"
inquired Joe.
; "I can give you a lot of figures, that
■ I know will puzzle you almost as much
as though I were to ask you how many
grains of sand there are along the sea
chore of New Jersey. For example:
the other day the British government
announced that it was planning to
spend a total of $5,600,000,000 if the
war lasts another year."
Both boys whistled, and then Jim
my said: ''That's five and a half b-i-1-
1-ion dollars, isn't it?"
"And if the war lasts only six more
months the British government will
have to spend $10,500,000 a day,"
added l"ncle Harry. •• Remember too,
that Great Britain is only one of the
• countries. The war is costing Ger
many. France, Austria. Russia and
Turkey millions and billions of dollars
also. The total cost to all the nations
is so tremendous a sum that only a
.banker or an expert whose business it
is to work in figures can form any idea
of what it ail means in dollars and
cents. But Lean tell you this boys;
if half the money that is being spent
on the war were spent on building
schools, and hospitals for the sick, and
helping the world to help all the peo
ple who are in need of food and cloth
ing an.i the other things that even
human being must have to toe strong
and healthy and hap;\v, there wouldn't
be any need for jails or battleships or
big guns or ammunition or any of the
other things that bring so much suffer
ing and sorrow into the world."
•'Where do the nations get all this
money f" asked Joe. " \Vlio pays all
these costs of the war?''
"The nations borrow the money,','
said I'ncle Harry.
"Who lends it to them!" asked
Jimmy.

'"The bankers, for the most part,
although some of it is loaned by the
peoples in the different countries,''
said Uncle Harry. "But the govern
ments have to pay interest, and the
interest is so great that as a rule
nations never pay off war loans; they
just keep on paving* interest year in
and year out. Do you understand what
interest ist"
"Yes indeed we do," said Joe. "We
have our savings in the snviug fund
and every year the saving fund com
pany pays us two cents for every dol
lar we have on deposit."
"That's it exactly," said Uncle Har
ry. "But with these war loans, the
sums of money that the governments
of the warring countries owe the bank
ers are so great that the governments
are never ible to get enough money to
gether to pay back the loans to tbe
bankers. Kven to raise the money to
pay the interest on tde loans the gov
ernments have to tax the people. Aud
they keep on taxing them, so that the
boys and girls of soldiers who are
killed in the wars, when they grow to
be men and women have to help pay the
interests 011 the money that their gov

men and women of our country—like
you and father and mother, whose fa

killed iu the Civil war, 'way back in

the money borrowed to fight that war?"
1 asked Joe.
j "Yes. that is right," answered

"I don't think that's fair." said
Jimmy.
"That's the way a good many other

Beautiful, Soft, Fluffy
Hair an Aid to Beauty
Who does not love a head of pretty
hair? Some women think it is a gift
of nature and envy their more for
tunate sisters. If your hair is not j
fluffy, soft Hnd lustrous; is falling J
out, streaked, faded, brittle, or full I
of dandruff and if the scalp itches,
do not think it must always be that
way, for pretty hair is only a matter
of care and proper nourishment of
the hair roots. Hair is something
like a plant—if neglected it soon
withers and dies, while with a littlo
attention it keeps fresh and beau
tiful.
Parisian Sage is a scientific prepa
ration that supplies just the elements
needed to invigorate the hair roots
and stimulate the hair to grow long,
thick, fluffy, soft and lustrous. It
removes dandruff anil quickly stops
itching head and falling hair. It is
the ideal hair tonic and scalp treat
ment for men, women and children —
contains nothing injurious and is
delicately perfumed.
H. C. Kennedy or any drug coun
ter can supply you with Parisian
Sage—it is inexpensive. You cannot
be disappointed with this delightful
and helpful toilet necessity, for the
first few days' use will give your hair
the beauty and charm of vouth.—

Our Country's Defense
"I haven't been in physical combat
with another human being since i was
a boy," says Secretary of War Garri
son. "Right now I can say to you that j
I wouldn't tight another man; that ij
wouldn't descend to a rough and tumble |
fight in the street —but I know, and <
you know, that 1 might walk out into |
that corridor and meet a man who'
wolud insult me in such a way that I'd
punch him in a minute. There are some
insults that can't l>e attended to in j
any other way. Besides which there 1
are some assaults upon and threats |
against one's life or one's property I
that arc made with force and can olily |
be successfully met by force.
"Now, then, nations are just like!
individuals. Wo may say there is noth
ing that could force the United States 1
into a war—but down in our hearts we |'
know this isn't so. We know the na- I
tion might be insulted, just as you or '
I might be, or that its existence or vital ' '
interests might be threateml—and that
we would fly to arms iu a minute.
* * * And that is why the War Do- ! '•
partment is worrying about our army; j ]
why it is worrying about our country's! I
defenses."—The American Boy. I 1

Cniisers Coal on the Run
The British cruisers which are I
guarding the steamship lanes against :
German raiders do not dare to relax I
their vigilance for an ins'iant. It is :
dangerous for them to stop to take on j
the necessary coal, and so an ingenious j
method has been devised to enabie them
to take coal on the run. The collier
that is to supply a cruiser with coal
gets into touch with her by wireless
and meets her at the appointed spot.
1 The collier pulls up behind the cruiser
and when about 400 feet astern two
hawsers are passed from the warship
! and one fastened on either side to be
[ used as tow lines. Another cable is
| stretched from the masthead of the
j collier to the deck of the warship. The
I warship steams ahead at the rate of ten
| or twelve knots an hour, followed by
! the collier. Great bags holding a ton
of coal are hoisted to the masthead of
the collier and attached to a carrier
that allows them to run rapidly down
to the deck of the cruiser, where the
load is automatically released. The
carrier is then drawn back to the col
lier. By this means coal is loaded onto
a moving warship at the rate of sixty
tons an hour.— The American Boy.

Movies of Flying Bullets
- Imagine photographing a moving re
volver bullet; then imagine, if you can,
making seventy-two photographs of it
while it was covering a space of ten
inches. This is a feat which has actu
ally been accomplished with the aid of
a moving picture camera. As the pic
tures were taken at the rate of one
hundred thousand a secoud, and no
camera shutter is made which could
attain that speed, the pictures were
made by means of a series of electric
flashes, each spark or flash giving one
exposure. The film used was mounted
on a wheel three feet in circumference
which was revolved at the rate of nine
thousand revolutions a minute in order
that the pictures should not overlap
each other.
In photographing a bullet passing
through a stick, it was noticed that
the bullet passed completely through
the stick and was well on its way be
fore the wood showed any signs of
splintering. Then tiny splinters ap
peared, the stick began to split and
finally broke after the bullet was some
distance from the stick.—The American
Boy.
